I cannot set my mail account

I've just buy a Mini Mac, but I wasn't able to set my e-mail account. When I set pop server for incoming mail, after verifying the connection an error message occurs reporting to verify user id and pwd. Internet works properly, I tried get in my mail account via webmail and is ok. I've checked pop settings with my provider several times and seem to be everything ok, but my e-mail account is still not working......
What can I do, has anybody an idea ???
Thanks in advance

"Actually, it's always been marketed as interaction with Exchange 2007 only."
No, that's not correct. Not even a little bit. It was MARKETED as providing Exchange support. The fine print said it was only with 2007. One of the first truly underhanded things I've seen Apple do.

Cannot set up mail account

I continue to get this message when trying to set up my email account. I following the instructions and still get this type of message.
StartTLS is configured with server mail.svc.telus.net for IMAP, but the connection attempt failed. Change SSL to ON or OFF in your settings and try again (TLS not supported by server)
I'm very frustrated... tried support from email provider and they recommended calling RIM...no phone number so this will have to do

How do I continue to use Mail on my MacBook2? i use iCloud on my iPhone and iPad but cannot receive my Mail account on my older MacBook.

how do I continue to use Mail on my MacBook2? i use iCloud on my iPhone and iPad but cannot receive my Mail account on my older MacBook. I have followed the iCloud/move link as suggested but it doesn't give me the continue to use Mail option. Any help gratefully received.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

I had to change my password on my email password, but went to my setting under mail accounts and it is grey and I am unable to update it there. Can someone tell what I can do? This on an iPad2.

If the word "Off" is sort of cloudy and the settings are greyed out - that means you do not have restrictions enabled - but just in case - do you use a passcode to lock the iPad?
Exactly what message are you getting and where are you getting the message - what does the "email icon" mean?

Cannot add e-mail account. everything is ghosted

cannot add e-mail account. everything is ghosted?? Help pls

Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. This will not affect your data. The phone will reboot.

Cannot Set Up Exchange Account in Windows 8/8.1 Mail App - Need to turn off SSL

Hi there,
The office I work at is currently running an Exchange 2003 server for mail, and for reasons unknown, it isn't using an SSL certificate. That will
be changing some time in the near future, but as a result, I can't set up an email profile for this Exchange account on the Mail app. On all the various phones I've had (I've used all 3 major mobile platforms), I've been able to uncheck "Use SSL"
in the initial setup settings, or upon failure to connect to the mail server, save the profile I set up, and uncover more settings after saving that allowed me to turn off SSL. This isn't the case for the Windows 8/8.1 Mail app. I can't turn off
SSL for Exchange in the initial setup part, and I upon failure to connect to the server, cannot save the mail profile.
Don't get me started on Outlook 2013...our server is too old for it and therefore incompatible, which somewhat unforgivingly bricks the program and requires a multi-step repair...
So is there any way to fix or get around this SSL setup issue (other than the obvious solution of our IT guys putting on an SSL certificate)?
Thanks!

Hi
I have seen exchange 2003 not working well with the windows 8.1 mail app. generally you would install the cert from exchange 2003 on your pc and mail should work...

Mail: Cannot set up new account

Mail (Version 3.1 (914/915) crashed whilst sending a large attachment. On re-launch I was unable to connect to one of my servers. My .Mac account still worked as normal. I tested the server and settings by setting up the account in Entourage (not normally used) and that works OK. I deleted the account in Mail and dumped the mail preferences file. Trying to set up the account again Mail fails at "Checking connection to mail server...". Creating the connection by adding to the server list and checking in Connection Doctor shows a successful connection.
Any ideas please?

I resolved the problem. I checked earlier the package contents in time machine when I returned to mail it worked! Bit of a mystery really.

Cannot set up mail on iPod Touch using Mac's AirPort WI-FI.

This is FYI. My problem has been fixed so this might help someone. I could not set up my mail account on my new iPod Touch using my home Mac's AirPort WI-FI. I do not have a separate wireless router. I am running Tiger OSX 10.4.11 with an iMac. Safari and You Tube, etc. on the Touch was working fine. I kept getting "cannot connect using SSL" and "POP server...is not responding." I found out, by myself, that if I turned off my firewall on the Mac, my email account set up and I could receive and send emails. I also found out if I set up the account on another WI-FI, it would work. I don't like to turn off the firewall, so I won't check my email on my Touch using my Mac's WI-FI.

A bit more info...
The error message says -
Cannot Send Mail
The connection to the outgoing server "smpt.me.com" failed.
My server setting is smpt.me.com
SSL is turned on.
Port 587
Sever is turned on
All the settings below the server on/off switch are greyed out so i cannot edit them myself.
The ipod touch is brand new yesterday and up to date with the latest software.

Need big help with setting up mail account.

Okay first, I would like to say you guys really need a sticky of basic instructions on how to set up a mail account for different carriers. I use Gmail mainly but I cannot get my mail to sync for the life of me with POP on and everything. I also heard Gmail is buggy and I would like to try an IMAP account which I heard was better. Can ANYONE give me some good step by step instructions on how to set one up. What is the best? What works well? I am willing to create a new email just for the iPhone. Thanks in advanced!

There are too many email account providers from internet service providers to non-ISP email account only providers for Apple to provide "basic" instructions for each. The iPhone's email client is not much different from an email client on a computer and the require account setup information is provided by your ISP or email account provider.
You can't just set up an IMAP account. You must have an email account provider that supports/provides an IMAP account and there aren't many that do. Most ISPs and email account providers support/provide POP accounts only.
Yahoo provides a free IMAP account for iPhone customers but there are advertisements included with each sent message. An Apple .Mac account can be accessed as an IMAP account.

Can't set up mail account on iPOD

Can anyone tell me how to set up my email account on iPOD? I'm connected through cogeco cable and have an address ending in cogeco.ca
I have gone through settings and clicked add new account on my iPOD. It seems to recognize it. Under Incoming mail server it says pop.cogeco.ca. And under Outgoing Mail server it says smtp.cogeco.ca
When I save it, it comes back with the message: Cannot Connect Using SSL. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?
Now I'm stuck!
Anybody save me?
thanks...Kurt

Did you try setting it up "without SSL" ??
Go into Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendars> Congeco account> Advanced> You can turn SSL on or off there if needed.
Try both ways...
Also look at Authentication.
Most say "Password" but you have other choices under Authentication.
Not sure how Congeco is supposed to be setup.

Can't set up mail account pop3

Hello, I'm trying to use the mac mail program but it will not let me set up an account. I'm trying to get my register.com mail and I don't have access to any selections from the drop-down menu. I've properly put in my information but I keep getting the same message that I cannot connect. When I used Entourage in the past, it worked just fine. What's up?
Thanks for the help!

Your ISP, Time Warner, would provide you with both a free POP account, and a SMTP server, should you desire. In many cases, if you set up at least one POP account (but not necessarily use it for any emailing) with the ISP, you can then be allowed to use their SMTP to send with other addresses and accounts, all according to the protocols they have listed in any support documents. Some (a few) providers limit sending with their SMTP from addresses of their domain.
What type of account would TW provide -- a RoadRunner, perhaps? If so, then I would expect that SMTP to work with your register.com account. However, if register.com provides a SMTP, then you might be able to use it, but perhaps be required to present it on something other than Port 25.
With some cable providers, like Time Warner, the SMTP is authenticated from the IP address of the modem they provide, and no additional Username and Password would be needed on the Outgoing Server/SMTP, so it might not be required to even set up the POP with them.
More info, please.

Cannot set up mail on iphone.

I have encountered problem set up my mail account in Iphone.
This is the first time set up where I selected mail settings from iphone main menu .Well the problem indicates "Cannot connect through SSL (secure connection)-Do you want to continue connect" then I selected yes.
However, after few 40 seconds, another message appears as "Unable to setup...check network connection". I switched to AT&T Edge data network and completely disable Wi-fi. Literally, same problem re appeared.
Can anyone provides feedback how to resolve this issue. Indeed, many thanks in advance.
Cheers all!

The iPhone has a feature of allowing your mail settings to be imported from your computer's mail client's settings when you sync the computer and the phone using iTunes. Open iTunes, connect the phone, click on the phone in the left hand column. Then open the Info tab and check the Mail settings and select the mail client you are using, either Outlook or Outlook Express. Then sync and the settings should be exported into the phone.
If that doesn't or hasn't worked, open your mail client and look at the settings for the outgoing server. Manually enter the same settings in your iPhone. You don't have to guess whether to use SSL when you already have this info in the settings in your computer.

Nokia c3-00 cannot setup "other" mail account

Hi folks!
I have the problem outlined in the topic name!
I have Nokia c3-00 and, sw 8.63 and mail 2.0.24.
To be precise, I bought it in October. It worked for some time with "other" accounts normally but then one moment it stopped. No phone updates were done in the meantime. E-mail though updates itself automatically on startup and this cannot be blocked.
So, before I had normally 2 independent my own accounts working. One moment it started asking "Authentication required, enter password" in bizarre situations, for instance, when opening another mail.
After it stoped working at all since entering password did not work. I could delete the accounts and also tried to hard reset the phone. Reset, however is not that powerful since on the first run mail insists on updates. I therefore cannot be sure that the version I had a week ago is the same as I have now. I could not block updates by disconnecting from the internet, then mail simply does not start.
SO, NOW mail program always asks only e-mail and password as the intial configuration and then tries to connect automatically, even though no info is collected yet.
There is NO option "next" in the mail account setup (as it WAS before) and there is NO request for extra data after unsuccessful login (as it was mentioned adn worked for someone in another thread).
Very upset. It was one of the most convenient functions of this phone.
BTW, the program SmartMail, which you can buy in the OviStore does not work normally either. So, jsut do not waste your 1 EURO, folks.
And just in case, the server I connect to is mine and is managed by me. I therefore sure hundred percent in the mail settings I have to enter and also sure that notheng has chanegd to the server itself in the last 2 months.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Same problem with my NOKIA C3-01 Touch & Type.
I am using:
MAIL
Model version NokiaC3
Firmware versione 06.05
Mail revision 2.2.21
I set up gmail, hotmail, yahoo accounts without any problem.
Since one week ago I was also using 2 accounts from ARUBA (that is an italian provider) but suddendly the program asked me for the password.
I tried to delete the account but I could not put it back again because this new versione of MAIL does not let me type extra data like ports etc. (or maybe I could not find where it is...).
I am very upset about this malfunction.

Cannot add additional mail accounts

Has mail been updated with a new script for adding accounts? I cannot find out how to get a blank screen for the account settings. It keeps giving me a dialog that does not present all of the options, so it is unable to check the server (incorrect port) and will not go any further.
It is probably something easy, but it is not readily apparent and is starting to get very frustrating.
Thanks,
mcm

The Account Setup “Assistant” is a pain, but after setting up the first mail account, you can bypass it by holding the Option (Alt) key down when clicking the [+] button in Preferences > Accounts. Alternatively, your could:
(1) Let it time-out. It may take a few minutes, but you can do other things with the computer in the meanwhile.
(2) Shut down the Internet connection so that Mail times-out immediately, and go online again when done.
